Which of the following statements about prokaryotic reproduction and genetic recombination is true?

Prokaryotes reproduced fission, a form of sexual reproduction and genetic recombination

Genetic recombination in prokaryotes can take place by taking up DNA from the environment. This is called transfection

During conjugation, a donor cell shares a DNA with a receptor cell

Phages are not considered to be a source of genetic recombination in prokaryotes

CRSPR-Cas is the asexual reproduction system in prokaryotes

Respuesta :

Answer: the answer is C; During conjugation, a donor cell shares a DNA with the recipient cell.

Explanation:

Bacterial conjugation involves the transfer of genetic matter between cells either via direct cell to cell contact or by the means of a pilus.

The donor cell produces pilus which attaches to the recipient cell and brings the cells together, and then a single strand of DNA is then transferred to the recipient cell.

The following statements about prokaryotic reproduction and genetic recombination is true - During conjugation, a donor cell shares a DNA with a receptor cell

Prokaryotic reproduction

Binary fission is the most common prokoryotic mode of ase-xual which does not provide genetic recombination or genetic diversity, but prokaryotes can share genes by horizontal gene tranfer that include three other mechanisms:

  1. Conjugation is the process by which one bacterium transfers DNA to another through direct contact from donor cell to receptor cell
  2. Transformation is the bacteria can actively take up and integrate exogenous DNA
  3. Transduction the process by which a virus transfers genetic material from one bacterium to another.
